Found this at a late 18th/early 19th century site. Pretty sure it's lead. It looks like bale seals, that I have seen posted, but it does not have any symbols pressed into it. What else could it be?

It is definitely a lead seal, though I would see it more modern than early 19th century.

This type was used until fairly recent inter alia for seed, fertilizer flour etc. sacks, so you can expect them fairly oftern on any field.

It is about the size of an older meter seal. Cool find.
